What’s the real name of Area 51, since I can’t see it among the Air Force bases? And wohooooo! Yet again I place solidly in the middle of the pack! Maybe I should start dropping pies on those left in the basement, or what snacks are served on this floor? 😃 Yes, I’m totally counting on a rock bottom finish in the next one, so I might aswell make the best of it 😉 ---

_Merde_. Not only did I come in nearly last in this feud, I’m being bombed by that crazy Viking! With pies, no less! 😃 And I’m a Vet, even… Thanks, **Dolores**! **SSGSchwartz** , thank you, too for a fun feud. For all the military posters: Keep safe, and watch your six. ---

Right - I had to look it up. But I gave it to you. Today was so stressful at work - I hope I didn’t make any mistakes. ---

First in the showtunes & military feuds. There’s a ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ joke just waiting to be made there. ---

Thank you all for playing, and thank-you again, **Delores** , for hosting. I know I sprung it on you kind of late. SSG Schwartz ---

Hah, sorry I missed this one. I think it’s kinda funny that Eisenhower got more votes than Washington, but then, my guess was Eisenhower. Similarly, I’m amused that Lackland AFB, the one Air Force base that almost all Airmen spend some part of their career at, didn’t get voted at all (off the top of my head I thought of Travis though, go figure). Also, for Army bases, no love for any of the Presidios? Comon, the Presidio of San Francisco was in a Sean Connery action movie, that has to get it some love here 😃 I’ll have to poke around here to make sure I get in on a later feud, this looks like fun, thanks for putting this one up **SSG Schwartz**!😛 ---

> [@Sternvogel](#): > > Area 51’s facilities are managed from [Nellis Air Force Base](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51), which three people named. Ah, ok. I had no idea. So thanks **Rebo** for giving me points! ---

Wow, I crushed that one out of the park. And besides the answer for number 6 I wasn’t even trying to be contrary. It’s lonely being elite. ---

I can remove the “L” from my forehead for a couple of hours. I finally broke top 10. 🆒 (I know, I know…back to the basement on the next feud) ---
